A couple of people have sent along that famous Agatha Christie quote, you
know the one "An archaeologist is the best husband any woman can have; the
older she gets, the more interested he is in her." 

But the way I understand it, is that Max Mallowan (the archaeologist married
to Christie) said that to a news reporter and claimed that Christie said it.
Now--that's pretty funny, because Christie was a lot older than Mallowan,
and it says a lot about their marriage (lucky them!). But I don't have a
very good context for that fact, dang it, and I can't even remember exactly
where I found that out, over a decade ago.

Does anybody know for sure that I'm right, or have another idea that I'm
wrong? I would dearly love to include it, especially if I can find the right
confirming data.
